I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste   A flannel for my face   Pajamas, a hairbrush   New shoes and a case   I said to my reflection   Let's get out of this place      Past the church and the steeple   The laundry on the hill   Billboards and the buildings   Memories of it still   Keep calling and calling   But forget it all   I know I will      Tempted by the fruit of another   Tempted but the truth is discovered   What's been going on   Now that you have gone   There's no other   Tempted by the fruit of another   Tempted but the truth is discovered      I'm at the car park, the airport   The baggage carousel   The people keep on crowding   I'm wishing I was well   I said it's no occasion   It's no story I could tell      At my bedside empty pocket   A foot without a sock   Your body gets much closer   I fumble for the clock   Alarmed by the seduction   I wish that it would stop      Tempted by the fruit of another   Tempted but the truth is discovered   What's been going on   Now that you have gone   There's no other   Tempted by the fruit of another   Tempted but the truth is discovered      I bought a novel, some perfume   A fortune all for you   But it's not my conscience   That hates to be untrue   I asked of my reflection   Tell me what is there to do
